Build & Fly
July 2013
Vice President’s Column
Greetings everyone. Club President Bill Hill is on a long
deserved vacation to the Great North West, my old stomping grounds. And yes I gave him directions to the Boeing
Tour Center in Everett and the Museum of Flight in
Seattle.
Well summer is here and with it all the experiences of past summers and the memories they left all of us.
Be it summer camps, family picnics, swimming, surfing or fishing, summer is a time for all of us to enjoy
the fruits our our labors during the best weather of the year. Unless of course you live in Alaska. It is also
the time when BBQ blow ups, fish hook injuries and falling out of trees plagues ourselves and our children.
So it goes without saying, be careful out there. The Poison Oak in the jungle is waiting for you and so is the
heat if you're not careful. And let's not forget about the fire hazards this time of year. In the past five
years, I've seen four fires started when LiPo batteries made hard contact with the terrain in the Seattle
area. One was in a marsh area. Every incident required the Fire Department to put out the blaze and it
took nature a full year to heal up the wounds.
Summer brings a lot of distractions too. Propellers never stop attempting to slice and dice our fingers,
hands and arms. And just when you think it's safe to fly the wind kicks up and sends your airplane off
course and into the dumpster. I'm not trying to create a buzz kill here but to remind everyone to hit the
pause button for a moment, to make sure you are playing and working safely this summer. Oh, and don't
forget the sun screen.
Have a great summer everyone. It's a great time to fly or start a new project. Enjoy the company of your
friends and family. And be thankful we live in this
wonderful country. Fly safe and have some fun!

Patrick Pranica, Vice President, Palomar R/C Flyers, Inc.
Editor’s Corner:
This month I interviewed Bob Lang, the founder of the modern Palomar R/C Flyers. Bob is not in the best of health
so he doesn’t fly these days. He is an excellent carpenter and
2 has a great workshop in his garage. Bob shares some of
what went on as he directed the building of our field.
As Heard at the Field
As I took one of my friend’s photos at the field, I said: “This is going to be a marvelous photo after I retouch it.”
James Gallacher brought a motorized sailplane named a Cularis. I said it sounded like Cialis (the medication).
I asked him if he was getting four hour flights, but he responded, “It’s bad. I was only up for 15 minutes!
4th of July Picnic
Our annual club picnic will be held at our field on July 4th. Open flying and the club
provides the eats which start at 11:30. It’s a fun time to meet our friends.
Membership
Did you know that only 7 members who were in the Club 30 years ago are still with us? Back in 1983, membership
was 225. Last year we finished the year with about 215 members.
The roster from Oct. 15, 1983 lists the following members who remain in our club. These are the “old timers”.
1 Felix Alvarez
2 Richard Andersen
3 John Buck, M.D.
4 Joseph Buko or Bukovchik (Newsletter editor)
5 Russell Parks
6 Edward Ramsay
7 Ron Roberts
Joe Buko
Staff Photographer
Editor-in-Chief
P.S. I originally had 10 pages of photos of Joe Nall and others, some of which I had to eliminate due to the digital
size of this file. It was nearly 50 pages! So, I’ll try to post the unused photos to the August issue.

Bob’s interest in aviation begins with his father, Lynn, a WW II aviator with the U.S. 8th Air Force in England
who was a tail gunner on a B-24 Liberator. After Lynn’s bomber took off, it circled until 500 planes were aloft
and then they headed to their targets in Dresden, Berlin, Dusseldorf, the refineries @ Ployesti, and the ball bearing works in Schweinfurt et cetera. His father said that the FW-190’s flew so close he could spit on them! After a
mission, they counted 247 bullet holes in their Liberator! During that era, an aviator had to complete 31 missions
before being relieved of this deadly duty. Amazingly, his father survived and completed 31 missions! This enabled Bob to be born just after the War’s end. Bob is a 1946 model from Santa Monica, California. He has one
younger brother.
When Bob was small, his dad built a rubber powered B-24. His father built and flew model planes when he was a
child, and Bob became interested in airplanes too. They often went to what is now LAX to watch DC-4’s and
Super Connies. As a kid, Bob started with gliders, control line and outdoor rubber. He began building r/c 31
years ago.
He joined the Palomar R/C Flyers in 1984 when Granger Williams (of Williams Brother Manufacturing) was
president. (I remember Granger well since I was a member at that time too.) Bob is one of our life-members.
Bob recalled that back then, Frank White was a Palomar Club member for a year. Frank was #32 pilot in the
USA and his 1917 license was signed off by Wilbur and Orville Wright! Ladies and gentlemen is not that amazing to have had such an historic club member?!
Bob said, “One day in 1997, I got a call from a member of the Bonsall Flyers club. He was a volunteer sheriff and
had been involved in recovering a lot of stripped stolen cars from a property east of I-15. He told me that the
property was too big for their club but was sure that with the sheriff’s help our club could acquire the use of it. I
enlisted Tom Minegar to negotiate with the owner and after a couple of telephone calls had the owners’ blessings
and a property use agreement on the way to us.
The property had become a public nuisance with an absentee owner over the years. There were many stripped
cars and piles of trash all over the 100 acres. There was also a thriving meth lab in the creek on the east side of
the property that took up a lot of the sheriffs’ time. The County of San Diego had stepped in to clean up the
trash and the cars with a bill for about $10,000.00 going to the owner. Our part of the deal would be to maintain
a presence on the property and keep it mowed.
The first thing we had to do for the owner was to install a gate at the entrance to the property and keep it locked.
He was afraid for the safety of a member that might be out there by himself and to keep people from sneaking in
and dumping their trash (old habits are hard to break) so we had to agree to lock the gate behind us.
Then member, Larry McDougal, made arrangements for us to use the facilities of a scrap yard in Vista to build
the gate. The two brothers that owned the yard, Jack and Joe Lee donated the material and the use of a welder.
Larry was the welder and I was the gopher. Dave Truax also helped out. It took us two Saturdays to build it. It
weighs over 1,000 lbs. and is set in five cubic yards of concrete!
During the time we were building the gate and grading for our runway and pit area, one of our senior members,
George Johnson who was 76 years old at the time had been retrieving trash that the County had overlooked. He
had asked me to get him a large roll-on/roll-off dumpster that he could put it in.
George was an amazing man for his age. I called the trash company to find out about the bill and they said that
the dumpster held ten tons of debris! At the next board meeting we named our new facility “Johnson Field” in
George’s honor. He took it upon himself to patrol the property when we started to have a vandal problem and he
3
spent many nights by himself waiting and watching. George
lived just long enough to attend our first “Top Dawg
4
Scale Fly-in” in 1998. His wife Elizabeth brought him to the field wrapped in a blanket.
He sat next to me as I announced the event and cried as he saw how well his idea had
turned out.
In the late 1990’s, someone donated a completed Kit Fox full-scale airplane to our club,
sans a data plate. The builder removed it because of insurance reasons. Leaving it on
meant he became the manufacturer and that made him liable. Our club sold it on E-bay,
but in the end only received $4,000 for it. (Now back to Bob.)
After high school, Bob joined the union that covers giant earth-moving equipment. He
worked as a heavy equipment operator for 53 years and has run just about every piece
there is.
Bob and Maxine will be married for 38 years in November. Bob has a son and Maxine has
a daughter and a son from a prior marriage. Maxine has four living grandchildren and
one deceased. He is a great-grandfather now.
Bob and Maxine have given so much to our club. If you ask the “old timers” among us,
men like Evan Davidson, Dave Truax, George Dawe, Rich Anderson, John Cutler, Tom
Minegar, Glenn Pohly, Dave Drowns, Butch Abongen etc., you can learn about the many
club events Bob and Maxine managed (about 17 per year)! When Bob was president for 9
years, from 1996 to 2005, membership was as high as 435 members. Our club once was
the largest R/C club in the USA!! In those days, Bob wrote, printed, and mailed out the
Transmitter! It was a monumental work! Compared to that time, producing the
Tranmitter electronically is rather easy .
When you stand at the fence at the pilot’s station, you are standing at a well-built, redwood fence which Bob made in his garage, trucked it in, and set it up. Bob was responsible
for buying our first tractor and he located our present 45 hp Ford tractor. Bob and
Maxine have given this club years of service for which there are no proper thank-yous!
Bob said that if one stands at the pilot’s station and looks west, you can see the swale that
goes down to the road below. That’s the road that leads to the heli field. The swale went
right through our runway @ about a 6 to 7 foot dip and he had to fill it in!
I suggest that if you have never read the history of our club, please do so. It is on our website and Bob wrote it for us. Thanks Bob for all you have done. Your legacy lives on and
on. We are deeply indebted to you as we enjoy Johnson Field. We love you.

Jerry Sheldon and his new
bird on June 4th. What a
beauty, (the heli, that is.)
When I remarked that the bottom half of the
broom is worn off and that the heli guys need a
replacement, Don White remarked that this one is
fine because they actually ride the thing like
Harry Potter! He demonstrated it but was too
embarrassed to let me take a photo of it.

This is a 60% size Cub built from a Bill Hempel kit. Price13 of kit is $3,200 and Bill’s website is:
Billhempel.com This model weighs 120 pounds and has 16 to 20 servos. For example, one aileron alone has four
servos, each @ 400 inch ounces of throw. When this plane flies, most other activity stops to watch this most scalelike plane perform. The rudder stands 50” above ground.

Michael Leonard is a 14 yr old ( soon to be sponsored pilot) from Pennsylvania I became friends
with at last years Joe Nall. I mention his name because some of my best flying was during " team" or
tandem performances with him at the 3D line and
the pond( precision aerobatic 3D with 2 planes flying close together )!

The Meeting was called to order at 7:18 pm by 29
Club President, Bill Hill.
Welcome Visitors and Guests:
The Club Members welcomed four guests to the meeting. They are, Bradley Mackay, David
Jones, Paul Breed and Luis Cardenas. They were all given a round of applause.
Motion Made:
A motion was made to waive reading of the Minutes and accept them into record as published
in the Transmitter. The motion was then seconded.
Financial Report:
The Treasurer gave his report to the Members. Sean stated that our current bank balance is,
$41,575.00. Income for the month was, $3,515. Expenses totaled, $2,100, resulting in a net
increase of $1,415 for the month.
Club Business:
Patrick Pranica gave a re-cap of the recently held San Diego Heli Fun Fly. Bill then thanked
all of the Club Members who worked at the event and helped to make it a success. 56 pilots
participated over the three days and the Club earned $1,400 for our efforts.
Bill reported that the Club hosted 9 Cub Scouts at the flying field on Sunday, June 9th. They
were treated to r/c flying with the help of our Club flight instructors. A barbeque was provided
as part of their day.
The Board is currently working on revising the Club Membership Application. Sean O’Conner
has suggested some updates to the document. The Board will be reviewing and discussing
these at the next meeting in June.
The Board members have discussed the purchase of a power point projector for our use. We
currently are borrowing a projector and this practice has some drawbacks. This topic will also
be up for discussion at the June board meeting.
Dates to remember:
Our next scheduled Combat event will be held on Sunday, June 22nd. A barbeque will be provided.
Thursday, July 4th we will have our annual picnic - fun fly at Johnson field. Our VP, Patrick
Pranica, will be coordinating this event.
On September 15th we will be hosting Boy Scout Troop 680 for merit badge training. Tim Hitchcock will be coordinating this training event for the Scouts. We will be cooking for them as
well.
29
George Dawe and Bill Hill are suggesting a night flying event for the Club this fall. A tentative
date of September 15th has been set. George will be working to put this together in the next
few months. Start building your night flyer and plan to attend.
Scott Dedic was recognized for his months of work to make the San Diego Heli Fun Fly a
resounding success.
Arnon Brouner was thanked for coordinating the Cub Scout day at the field.

Best Practices / Safety:
Club Safety Chairman, Jim Jenkins, gave a presentation on “Fire Safety at the Flying
Field” to the Membership.
Patrick Pranica related a recent incident at Chino Ca. in which a large scale war bird
broke up in flight losing its wing in a turn. Patrick’s remarks touched on the additional
reinforcement that must be engineered into an aircraft weighing upwards of 75# pounds.
Tool of the Month:
Tom Johnston shared a handy cutting tool he has been using for many years. Tom explained that cutters normally used to cut steel cable fishing leaders work well to cut cable such as would be used in a “pull - pull” control setup in a plane. Tom said. “They cut
cleanly and leave no frayed cable what so ever”. They can be purchased at most well
equipped fishing tackle stores.
Model of the Month:
Two models were entered in the Model of the Month contest. Frank Burke displayed his T-28
Trojan, built from a Pica kit. Joe Villarreal brought a nicely built Focke Wulf 190-A8. Joe
said it was an arf he had repainted and added some details to. The members voted to award
this month’s plaque to Frank and his Trojan. Congratulations !
Door Prize and Adjourn:
The $50 door prize drawing was won by Roger Cosio.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:56 pm.

Board meeting Minutes June 26, 2013
The meeting was called to order at 7:05pm by Vice President, Patrick Pranica.
31
The Treasurer gave his report. Sean indicated that our current bank balance is, $41,783.00.
Membership is 227.
1. The Board members discussed proposed changes to the Membership Application. The Board
has approved the changes. The liability release form needs to be submitted to our property
owner before the new application is published in the Transmitter.
2. The need for readily accessible fire extinguishers at the flying field was brought up for discussion. A metal “truck box” will be installed next to our lost and found box in the near future.
Gate keys will unlock this box, giving all members access to the fire equipment. Buckets containing sand to extinguish lipo batteries will be provided as well.
3. The Board will be replacing the plastic trash cans with metal galvanized ones soon. It was
suggested that possibly a piece of concrete culvert pipe might work as a non flammable receptacle for the storage of unwanted or damaged lipo batteries. The Board will look into this idea.
4. The Palomar dollars program was debated by the members. Some members feel the program
is not producing the results we had hoped for. After some discussion it was in general agreement that the Palomar Dollars program is of value and provides members the opportunity to be
recognized for their efforts and the time they contribute to the Club. No changes to the program
are planned at this time.
5. The announcement marquee at the fixed wing field has been gone for some time now. Everyone feels that it should be replaced as it is a great tool to inform club members of upcoming
events and other information such as field closures. David Drowns will be working to get a new
board made and installed as soon as possible.
6. The poor condition of some of the work tables under the canopies was talked about. The
board will be calling for a Saturday work party in the future to replace the worst of the tables.
A study will determine how much wood needs to be purchased along with other materials. A
date will be announced for the work party once the details are worked out.
7. The power point projector purchase was discussed. All of the Board Members agreed that a
refurbished projector was the way to go. The members voted unanimously to ask Scott Dedic to
go ahead with a purchase from his employer.
8. Club meeting presentations was a topic of discussion. Patrick Pranica is working to line up
interesting speakers for future Club meetings. Safety presentations by Jim Jenkins will continue to be included as well. Patrick asked that any member having a suggestion for a guest
speaker contact him by phone or email.
9. The annual 4th of July picnic is in the planning stages. The picnic will start around 9:00am
on Thursday. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be served along with side dishes and dessert. Cooking starts at 11:30. A fun fly will take place during the day as well. Glenn Pohly will be sending out a blast e-mail to Club members as a reminder to attend. Bring a plane. Enjoy the 4th at
the field.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:52 pm.

June 27, 2013
It was noon and I, your editor, was sitting alone at the field, enjoying the silence and ambiance of
our field before leaving. Suddenly Jim Jenkins arrived to work on our tables, with new wood inserts and new foam (to restrain our planes) . He quietly went to work, and so I snapped a photo of
“catching him in the act” of doing such a generous deed. Thanks so much for your very kind help
in maintaining our gear. We appreciate you.
James gave a wonderful presentation at our club meeting on safety at our field. He is a professional when it comes to this and we are most fortunate to have him as a presenter. Jim, you rock.
